A Summer at Engineers Australia

Published: Friday, 15 January 2016

I saw on Facebook that Engineers Australia Victoria were moving into new premises.  I saw the national CEO Steve Durkin at an event.  He said I was welcome to use the new premises.  I said “Is there room for 30 of us?”  He said yes.  So I checked out the premises the next day.  And a month later, we moved in.  Here are our premises where we do mechanical, electrical and software engineering for 2Mar Robotics and Aipoly.  We recruited about 20 engineering student interns to work with us over the summer.  It was so much fun!  And we got a lot of work done.

If you're interested in doing an internship in engineering - software, mechanical, electrical, email us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with a cover letter and resume!
